ART AS AN INVESTMENT

Admission is Free
Art enhances our lives in countless ways. The act of experiencing art in a public setting can be compelling and persuasive. Many of us have personal collections that we assemble over a lifetime and whether you collection has been decades in the making or consists or one or two pieces, these works bring exquisiteness, inspiration and character to our daily lives. Additionally, art can be a worthwhile and significant investment.
During this time of year when many of us are thinking about: finances, investments and taxes, the Public Art Centre would like to offer some insights and clarification about: the implications of owning art, the benefits of art donations, collecting, appraising and bequeathing art. Join Ellen Luft, of Hollis Wealth and Moira McKee of Excavo Art Appraisal and Consultancy for a dynamic discussion followed by a question and answer period... there will be refreshments too.
